A "dangerous object" found outside the Israeli embassy in Stockholm has been destroyed, Swedish police say. Local reports said the incident triggered a major response, with a 100m (328ft) area cordoned off around the embassy to protect the public. Police told the BBC it was too early to give further details on the object. They said no-one had been injured. The Israeli ambassador to Sweden said there had been an "attempted attack" on the embassy and its employees. "We will not be intimidated by terror," Ziv Nevo Kulman posted on X. He thanked the Swedish authorities for their "swift action". In her own post, Sweden's Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch said she was "shaken", adding: "The hatred against Israel is frightening. Violent extremism must be stopped." Officers were called at about 13:10 local time (12:10 GMT), according to broadcaster TV4. The object was later destroyed by the national bomb squad, TV4 added. Its reporter heard a "bang" at the site. Sweden's national broadcaster SVT said armed police attended the scene and brought sandbags with them, reportedly to use during the disposal of the object. Police say they are investigating. The embassy is located by the waterside in the affluent Ostermalm area of Stockholm's city center. — BBC
